FIRST SHIPMENT TO AUSTRALIA
Today our first cases were sent to Australia, where several wine tasting events will take place with most of the clients of our distributor Jed Wines. We will soon learn how our wines will impact in Down Under
89 points from Stephen Tanzer
On january 15th the US wine journalist Steve Tanzer published his annual review of wines from Argentina. 600 wines were tasted and we got an excellent result for our Malbec.
These are the exact words of Tanzer`s tasting notes, which can be read in his bimonthly Wine edition (ST International Wine Cellar):
2007 Alpamanta Estate Malbec Mendoza
Good deep ruby. Musky, wild aromas of black raspberry, truffle and game, plus hints of white fruits and marzipan; I would have picked this blind as a syrah. Pliant but firm on the palate, with a juicy quality and good spicy lift to the sweet fruit flavors. Sexy, savory wine with no jammy sweetness.
Also recommended: 2007 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon Mendoza (86).
